American (citizen, not American Airlines) pilot on an HKG layover

Is that Vodka? If so, nice choice

I had McDonald's in that Hong Kong airport island place.

It was disgusting.

The fries were god awful. They tried to make them "cajon-y" and failed. The burger and the ice tea were good though.

A pilot at a decent US airline typically works 15 days per month. Wether is a single 15 day trip (only the cargo guys have these anymore) or 2 x 7 day trips or 4 x 4 day trips.... all this varies from airline to airline and further varies within your airline depending on what equipment you're on.

Generally most guys turn on the auto pilot (on departure) somewhere between 1500' and 10,000'.

On approach, generally guys turn off auto pilot (except when doing an auto land due to bad weather) between 5000' and 500'

It's the normal size of an iPhone 7 pic I guess.

It's 2pm. Negative sir. Just ice tea.

This is true.

I will reluctantly admit to eating ramen on Tokyo layovers tho. Followed by a big Sapporo and a couple of hot sakes!

Did you pick that up at a gift shop?

Most of them look like shit sir.

Pic related !

Fucking United, by far the worst airline in the world. Air Canada is second worst

Unless you are those pilots who work for the ME3 then how does it feel working for them

More

Once the plane passes 10,000ft it's all autopilot until before touchdown. Only reason a pilot is there is to communicate to controllers

>Americans
>culture

Please user I'm American myself and the only (((culture))) we have these days is SJWism

id fuck that gook desu

Looks damn good. Fuck yeah Murica. Though I have to admit, I love me some zaru udon when I visit Japan

This is not exactly true.

Like I mentioned, many guys will turn the autopilot on prior to 10,000'. Min altitude for engagement on takeoff is usually around 1000-1500 AGL depending on the aircraft type and your airlines OP Specs.

However, even in cruise we are "there" for more than just talking to ATC.

Merrican/10

Literally made me clap

Does jet fuel melt steal beams?

Not to get into it, but no. I don't believe the official 9/11 narrative.

id pay for that game. i love megaman.

>Fuck all culture except ours.
This tbqh my relative

She's alright for a chink

Jesus man.

Most look terrible. Pic related. I left the bar.

are there nigger pilots irl or is it just a meme?

Went to a different bar and took a creep shot for ya

Why do they have those awful granny glasses?

not a looker in the bunch

noice. not flat chested either.

Yes.

I can't comment on the number of them at my airline but they're there.

But I do know at my airline only 4% of the pilots are women.

She's stacked for a chink user desu senpai.
It's your duty to inseminate her with BURGER SEED.

>American (citizen, not American Airlines) pilot on an HKG layover.

>French fries and a hamburg-er
>most American meal
And people say yanks have no culture.

Enh you'll die too early of a heart attack. But sure, enjoy.

Damn I can't believe a burger thread, that was started by an actual burger, and was actually about a literal hamburger lasted this long.

What a time to be alive !!

Signing off gents.
(The captcha thing is in full autism mode now)

What's the most stereotypical English meal?
Fish and chips? Would probably be haggis for Scotland.

>tfw I will never share a meal at the local chippy with Nige

Oh come on I'm sure they have um...nice personalities? Nah they really are pretty ugly

French means the style of cutting the potatoes, not where they are from. Go have another curry and kebab Mohammed Singh

May I join it's late and i still didn't have lunch

Curry

>beans on toast
>muslim cock
>pig anus

Took one more creep shot just for you.

She is stacked. She's not Chinese though. She's Thai (though likely a mix but speaks Thai fluently like a native)

>this race will be the new roman empire after the west collapses
just nuke earth's crust off already

Goddamn, nigger. She has titties made for suckling. Please tell me you're gonna swoop.

Come on sempai, I'm in Central already. Butcher's club?

She does.

And. Nope. I'm not.

I think that's closed now?

Ah yes true. Haven't been in a while. Can't recognize the place from the pics but the planchas ring a bell.

>Pic related. It's lunch today.
Try eating real food, it'll help you not being morbidly obese.

I was at The Parish (on Staunton street) for the burger.

Decent burger. Shit fries. Would order again if they'd be willing to substitute something else for the fries.

Says the Ruskie!

You guys have damn near the worst food of any developed nation on the planet.

But I will admit your women are generally taller and slimmer than ours though.

>hmu im the 4 foot tall gook with buzzcut ill be waiting in chingchangkingchinggncheng square

>developed

Meeting a fellow Cred Forums user in real life would be terrifying and likely life threatening too.

+1

KEK

Can't fuck with fries. I'll settle for sushi then, but only because I've had the Superior Food twice yesterday.

If you want a good burger and are in Nagasaki get a Sasebo burger. Good tier shit right there.

Quite the contrary, hiding my power level all day long is exhausting. It'd be a relief. I'm no NEET

Yo dude, my next flight has a layover in beijing. How hard is it to navigate a chinese airport as an american and order food? WIll there be english speaking people there or am I in for an ordeal?

BJ airport is fine.

Man that looks like an amazing burger, and an amazing side of fries.
No reason to eat chicken feet fried in gutter oil when you can have a burger like that.

You're on Hollywood road. No fucking wonder.
There's 3 of us? How long are you here for? obviously airline pilot will be leaving relatively soon.

Your a glorified bus driver mate.

>Five posts that make u say "fuck nutrition and sheeit"
But neat. What are you typed on?

Fucking BING BURGER

He's not the pilot. I am.

Though to be honest, I don't actually care what my skill set is referred to as long as I'm paid well and given a lot of time off for it.

From what I gather we are quite a few around here. As of me I'm not going anywhere, I live here.

Do you spend your time in the cockpit browsing Cred Forums and posting dank memes? I'm guessing it must get quite boring after a while.

Agreed there's some amazing talent in TST at night. Or on Queens Rd Central during office hours.

FYI don't go to a lunch with random /pol-acks if you value your sanity.

Bus driver with the bet office view in the world, and a uniform which everyone loves.

Careful user, or the kikes will see your shitposting and threaten to withhold their shekels.

Cruise is boring.

No you don't browse the internet in the cockpit. There's generally none available on ocean crossings anyway.

You read the paper, a book, or unofficially your Kindle. (For some odd reason, reading a paperback is legal while using an electronic device for personal use is officially prohibited. Though many guys do it anyway)

God bless you and God bless America

Been there done that?

>FYI don't go to a lunch with random /pol-acks if you value your sanity.
I wasn't planning on doing, but it's weird to think there's some knocking about. When I moved here a few years ago I'm sure I was the only HK flag. Now there's a few.

So do I. I don't think too many tourists are browsing Cred Forums.

Occasionally you do get a nice view. Though the bulk of international flying is at night.

I snapped this pic flying over Siberia at 32,000. It was like another planet. The view looked like that for hours flying at Mach .80. Really made the Rockies seem small.

Hah. No i haven't. But common sense dictates .....

I thought I was going to go crazy the first time I flew over to Asia. I had cabin fever by hour 7 of 14. I don't know how you mad men do it.

I'm more reckless than you are. Prolly will do it someday - and it will turn out to be a honeypot, ahah.

I made this on the ACARS out of boredom

Feel free to save and share it with Chemtrail conspiracy tards.

what is allepo?

You had a 14 hour flight?
Holy shit they would be unbearable for me unless the flight attendants kept me drunk the whole way.

>Tfw you have finally finished years of training.
>Tfw you are now a pilot, who is entrusted the lives of dozens every day.
>Mommy is proud.
>Good income.
>Tfw you are still an autist who literally eats American food in fucking Hong Kong, takes creepshots of the women there and uploads them to a Zimbabwean knitting enthusiasm forum.

Considering what expats do in the Philippines and Thailand....

Id say you'd be safe from getting arrested. It would just be an awkward lunch.

Layovers get old after decades bro.

Gotta pass the time somehow.

Do you keep an eye out for muslims when they come on the plane?

Do you go to the prostitutes often?

No. the cockpit crew generally don't see anyone during boarding. You're generally busy and heads down with cockpit stuff.

The FAs may or may not do what you just asked. That's up to them.

Anyone who's ever done a BKK or MNL layover....

Probably has to answer Yes to that question.

It would. But it could be quite a lot of fun too. Depends on whom you end up bumping into I guess. But as other HKanon suggested, most likely it would be some expats between 25 and 40 here.

Honestly, and again I'm being honest here ....

I love visiting London. But as far as a city to live in, it seems just as bad (or worse) than our cities.

Mid to small town America is where the good life is. Go hang out outside Boise and the QOL is heads and shoulders above any city.

What do you expect when you visit two of the worst places in the country?

Not a 777, shitty old ACARS. What are you, Atlas?

Never done HKG, but have you been to the Mariners bar in NRT? Great Pizza.

There any truth to the flat-earth conspiracy? Ever seen giant caves over the arctic poles?

No in NRT I go to the ramen shop that everyone who stays at the airport Hilton goes to. And of course Jet Lag Club.

Not Atlas. I don't have a DUI.

No caves over the north pole.

Sadly, no and no.

Funny how you forget that a russian peasant first invented burgers. Just like the periodic table, nuclear fission and the series of tubes (Internet).

>Not Atlas. I don't have a DUI.

Confirmed as a pilot. Someone told me Branson had a hand in founding the Jet Lag Club. You have to take the train in to Tokyo to go to the Mariners place.

You go to Shanghai? Great Irish pub close to Nanjing street by the People's Square end.

I like your vodka. I buy Russian Standard every time I have the chance.

But your food.... Jesus your food ....

Thanks for this.

Flat-Earth conspiracy is mostly a troll. The only real people believing this shit are white trash who never ever recieved elementary school education and never been on an airplane.

Make sure to fuck all the bitches and get all your American and other white friends to do so. In a million years or so, the whole planet will be mostly white. It's a price that the first couple of mixed generations feels out of place.

THE WHOLE PLANET MUST BE WHITE.

Just don't racemix with Niggers. Beastiality is a sin.

do you have shart in a bowl with your fries?

Listen faggot

It is not science to put some meat between two pieces of bread. Then, make it hot and you have a fucking hamburger. If you are trying to say that one country invented THE Burger then thats just bullshit

Welcome bud.

Here's one more

No.

We only do that in Walmart

This is what modern ACARS looks like, he's either on the 767 or 747.

>I'm not a Nigel from Cathay

>Fuck, he's an expat Cathay C-Scale guy.....

First time I flew to Japan, I had a Nip qt Milf flight attendant, who kept saying how cute I was and giving me alcohol. Was pretty based.

6/10 would spice her rice

How many people on Cred Forums are going to know when I repost that image though?

Is there a dick under there?

She was Thai....

Doing my CPL right now. How many hours are you at? Is it worth going expat and flying for foreign airlines?

Zero idea what Canadas career track is like. You're asking the wrong guy.

Well we got 2 shit tier airlines to choose from Air Canada or Westjet. Thats pretty much it. Think F/Os at AC make about 80 and once you get left seat with AC on widebodys its around 150-200k. Do you get paid more to go foreign than stay domestic in the states?

probably not too many, I found it on Google Images because I won't contribute my OC.

Canada is a tough place to get a job. You might be well off trying to get a green card and getting a job at a regional in the US. 2nd year at the majors slinging gear on a narrowbody is like $120k/year these days. Most of the RJ carriers are paying a signing bonus (up to $15k) and can't find enough people to fill the classes. Thanks FAR 117.

Things are a lot different than they were 10-15 years ago.

Only problem is within the US you need a university degree to get a job at most major airlines. In Canada you dont. It looks better on you but its not a deciding factor

>Russia
>developed nation

Fking Kek

I'm fucking scared that my pilot could be a Cred Forums autist. Wtf

True, you do for most of the legacy airlines. Get a degree online, it's not like you need anything other than the line on the resume and the diploma. There are very few regionals that require it right now, though, so get it while you are building time. Get that seniority number and build some PIC turbine.

We have a lot of time on our hands. Also, most of us busted our asses for many years and are only now catching up on Internet crap. I jumped from Usenet right to modern Cred Forums. I've come across quite a few here in the last few months. I'm all jacked up from time-zone changes, and am going in to days off. That's the reason I'm here.

are you lost boy?

Strange
Look like 6 and 7s to me
Probably just my racism showing...

this

god I would overpay for that burger
yeah I don't really like asian women but east asians are usually ugly as fuck and thai girls are much better overall.

Vodka isn't a real food.

looks better than most

Fries look soggy. Probably too much freedom absorbtion

how long does it take to descend from cruising altitude to approach? how far out do you start your descent?

how long and how far does it take to get to cruise altitude?

those chips look rank

You got me. I click just to get a look at the burger.

whats that notch for on the IAS flap panel?

Unironically, same. Looks tasty

shadilay

so OP are you a pilot?

...

>be burgerman
>go to HK
>eat burger
>too burger to eat noodle
>only burger can sustain burgerman

dude you just haven't had the good shit, borscht (with proper amounts of sour cream salt and pepper), pelmeni, and pirozhki are all great. not to mention shashlik which is basically shish kebab.

and blini. There's actually this Russian "fast food" type place that makes all kinds of different flavors of blini that is going to open in New York surprisingly, they're all over Russia I forgot the name though.

statuesque

Don't worry, most bongs hate London as well. Absolute shit hole.

My britbong dad unironically loves curry.

It checks out

Let's all send these chemtrail pics to Alex jones.
Kek

Pretty sure he'd be out of a job if it were vodka.
